Comments are welcome. I would love to hear from you!
Nice! Dining al fresco in Possum Kingdom, who knew? Perhaps that porch could take the excess patrons, or maybe the Hummer? Get thee to the Double J Art Ranch in Mineral Wells, lots of history, photo ops and..oh yes, great people and music!
When I saw Rev. Joy I thought perhaps you were the minister at that little church shack in the photo! Thanks for the recommendation about Mineral Wells! Ciao bella! :) ~Tui
I loved this blog. I love quaint little places like these and that they were all in a stone’s throw made it even better. At first when you mentioned Possum Kingdom I had no idea it was a real place. I looked it up though. If you go to the site there is a picture of the lake with what looks like a stone gate with an opening. In one of the pictures it mentioned Hell’s Gate, so maybe that it’s name? Did you actually get to that area and get any pictures. I wanted to go to Texas already, since it is where I was born, but now I really want to go because I want to see that with my own eyes. I think I will plan a trip for Texas and Oklahoma, maybe on the same trip I decide to go see the Grand Canyon. Seeing the pictures almost makes me homesick for that area. I grew up at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. (ages 7-14) Anyway, thanks for the great blog. Very enjoyable.
I dunno, I think you still did an amazing photography job. I love these :)
Looks like a real nice 57 Ford in the Hummer picture. Great photos!
Good to see you again. :)
Hi There…..Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving a comment. How COOL that you lived in Italy and now are in Texas. The Possum Kingdom post was wonderful. Love you views on the diner, bluetooth cowboys, etc. PRICELESS. Now I’m going to go read some more of your blog! Hope to see you back in mine soon. I’ve been slow about posting but have some good ones in store! Happy Spring from Houston!
